This is good news. Thanks for the definitive answer. Some more questions about the patch, if you or anyone else has the time to answer them: - Once 6.3.9 is released, will the kernels that the TW install ISOs boot to use it? The current ones fail on systems with the problematic Nvidia GPUs unless "nomodeset" is manually added to the kernel parameters when booting them. That's a workaround, but it isn't something a non-expert user would know to do without searching or asking in the forums and mailing lists (or more likely giving up, saying "openSUSE is broken"). - Likewise, is there any chance the patch will be backported to Leap 15.5's 5.x kernels? Leap's ISOs also don't boot without "nomodeset", and although their installed kernels do (as opposed to installed TW which doesn't) I've recently discovered they later lock up with continuous errors in dmesg such as: ``` nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: CHSW_ERROR 00000002 ``` and: ``` nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: SCHED_ERROR 08 [] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: LB_ERROR ```
So 6.3.9 will have it. You can use Kernel:stable in the meantime, if you want.
I assume that means something like https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/x86_64/ke... A more generic question: If I use `zypper` or `YaST2` to install that, will they automatically configure my system so I have the choice to boot it vs kernel-default-6.3.7-1.2 (or whatever the latest `zypper dup` has installed), or do I have to manually run `dracut` or YaST2 Boot Loader or some other configuration tool? Thanks again for applying this important patch to openSUSE's kernels.
